Assessing science progress of the NBDC program and projects
Reviewing and strengthening project complementarities and progress
Reach consensus on core concepts and approaches
Themes
The event was organized in 5 thematic blocks (conversations).
each theme addresses all three objectives
each theme conversation is self-organizing (with a leader); engaging and participatory, no long presentations
each theme draws on and integrates cross-project experiences
each theme has a leader
process, presentations and discussions can be 'messy' - this is a working discussion with as open and critical discussions among participants. We are not 'presenting' to outsiders.
we address 'science' and 'reflection' in each theme
all participants will, somewhere in the program, 'present' something or have some other role
each theme conversation should appoint a 'rapporteur' to capture main discussion points (on the NBDC wiki). We will complement this with other 'social' reporting/communication.
